A brilliant analysis by @EdConwaySky using data to understand supply chains 👇
At @gs1, we are transforming the retail industry: reducing waste; informing consumers.
How? By fusing the ubiquity of the humble barcode with enhanced industry-standard trusted data.
This is 1st time I’ve been called “ever sensible and sober” 👀👇

If you have a few moments to listen to this interview as a parent with your child.
Possible one of the best post race interviews I have ever watched #PlayOn
Brilliant @CudjoeAnim - great scenes at Tannadice. 🇬🇭 🧡🖤

Made it to Ghana 🇬🇭 It’s been another tough few days. Body is still riddled with injuries so it’s been more mind games trying to figure out how best to deal with that.
I ain’t found the formula yet but I’m starting to just accept this is probably the way it’s gonna be for the last 7000km or so. If I can’t run, I’ll walk. If I can’t walk, I’ll crawl. If I can’t crawl, I must be dead. Till the end🍸
Ghana really feels like one of the most hospitable & safe countries I’ve been to on the continent so far. I find it difficult to take stuff in properly when so much of my energy is required on the basics of just covering distance but it is incredible to have had the opportunity to see so much of Africa on foot. Blessed.
Hope you’re all having a productive week out there🫡 – at Greater Accra, Ghana

Great to join @HenryDimbleby for a discussion on ‘how food and drink businesses can get our planet into shape’.
At @gs1uk we enable trusted data to inform and protect consumers.
Trusted information enables sustainable choices. Lots to do, but it couldn’t be more important.
One of my favourite moments in Ghana was the Kumasi durbar, hosted by the Asantehene for our future King.
Wonderful to see Otumfuo in London for this weekend’s coronation.
The humble @gs1uk barcode changed commerce forever & underpins how the modern world works.
Great to speak with @BBCRadio4’s You and Yours about how they work & why they matter so much!
Apologies for the terrible pun at the end.

Celebrating the iconic, humble barcode’s 50th birthday today 🎂 !
It changed commerce forever, underpins how the modern world works, and is more important than ever in an online world.
Busy day ahead with @gs1uk colleagues.

The humble - and iconic - barcode turns 50 tomorrow.
It has transformed commerce. It is now enabling circular supply chains, patient safety in hospitals and safe construction.
Onwards for the next 50 years @gs1uk !
Many of us have cursed barcodes as we stand at a supermarket self-checkout trying and failing to scan groceries in a hurry.
Yet we hold in our hands one of the most underrated inventions of all time. thetimes.co.uk/article/as-it…
Heartbroken to read this news.
Kind, thoughtful and devout of faith: I always looked forward to seeing Christian and, on occasion, kicking a football together at the Residence in Accra.
All of my thoughts with his wife, young children and family.

🇬🇭 by far the best team in second half, during another great WC game.
Sorry neither team qualified with Suarez left biting his tongue from bench at end.
